is pennsylvania realistically possible for mitt romney? the polls show right now a ten-point gap between these two men. >> it will be a very different race if pennsylvania is really in play. the fact it's not in play though is kind of instructive. right now president obama seems safely ahead in all of the polling. pennsylvania is actually the kind of state that mitt romney's promise a year ago he was going to be able to put into play the same way john mccain's promise was supposedly that. the reason why pennsylvania has become so solid democratic they've won in each of the past five elections is largely because the suburbs outside philadelphia, white collar, affluent, right of center economically, left of center social issues have moved decisively towards the democrats. originally mitt romney was seen as a candidate who could appeal to those voters. but he's not making many inroads there. as a result pennsylvania seems out of reach in any realistic scenario. >> he was doing some fund raising there. that may be the major reason while he's t

the romney people are actually saying their internals show it's a much closer race. what do you think? >> i imagine it is closer. i think it's closer somewhat going to tighten somewhat. but if it's ten points, that's a lot to make up in such a short time. and critical thing, joe, of course is that mitt romney at the moment has negative momentum. he's going backwards. it's not that obama's moving up so much as that mitt romney is moving backwards. as somebody said to me after that 47% republican strategist after that 47% remark it's bad enough when you don't like the candidate who's running for president. it's even worse when you learn that the candidate doesn't like you. >> right. i think the other thing that's kind of interesting is when you look at some of this polling is suggests that people in ohio are a little bit more optimistic about the economy than they were just a few weeks ago. the flip side of that is speaking with newt gingrich just a little while ago, he said mitt romney's got a problem, that his message is muddled. which one do you think it is? or how
